| Description:
Free-Reed ODYSSEY, featuring Daniel Barski on accordion, is one of the most well engineered accordion CDs JANPress has heard to date. That doesn't seem to be such a large claim until one realizes that this recording was done entirely in Mr. Barski's basement home studio, with multiple parts being accomplished through his own overdubs! The beautiful clarity and reverbs are astounding and his Petosa accordion is just as sumptuous sounding as the recording technique. You will also appreciate Mr. Barski's choice in musical material, all of which show the wide range of musical cognizance and appreciation he possesses. This is a CD worth having, and JANPress is certain you will find it unique, interesting, and rewarding. |

Free-Reed
Odyssey. All selections, even the ensemble
selection feature one accordionist, Daniel Barski. Also, all selections
except #10 were transcribed for solo or ensemble accordion by Daniel Barski.
From the CD Liner Notes in the performer's own words: "Some of the pieces presented here have not been previously recorded with accordion. I have selected them not merely for the sake of novelty, but because I enjoy them with their original instrumentation, and offer them now with the hope that, as played on the accordion, they might, not only manifest an artistic interpretation of the composer's intent, but also provide the listener with just a little more insight into this marvelous instrument." Dan Barski, July 2001
